"For those who would make their gardens a place of repose for mind, body and soul"
You too will be enchanted by her garden vista and the quaint cottage that compliments these beautiful Edna Walling designed gardens, set on almost half an acre in the much desired Bickleigh Vale Estate. The typical theory of building a home to compliment the gardens has been embraced here. Hurst was originally built for Edna's gardener, which in time has been updated to incorporate the comforts of today, whilst being very particular not to detract from the original character of the cottage. Lovingly maintained with partial rewiring, re-plumbing and a new colorbond roof installed, the interior also resembles some modern impression, including a stainless kitchen, comfortable bathroom facilities, reverse cycle cooling and a loft upstairs that makes the most delightful reading area. There is one bedroom, a cosy living room with a Ned Kelly wood fire and a scullery come laundry. Follow the garden paths to discover all the magical wonders that this landscape has to showcase, including many sitting areas and an ancient stand of bamboo that creates privacy and a wonderland for young children to explore. Whilst feeling like you're a million miles away, the location is extremely convenient to schools, shops and to public transport at Mooroolbark. This is a must see property for anyone who admires the charm of Edna Walling and who wants history to be a part of their everyday surrounds.
